Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to masks that cover a breathing passage and structures used to secure the masks to the head. More particularly, the present invention relates to generally non-stretch structures that have at least one of an adjustment mechanism and a configuration providing a predetermined wearing length and a longer length for donning.
- Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep condition in which the back of the throat relaxes so much while sleeping that it narrows the airway or even entirely blocks the airway. With the constriction or closure of the airway, breathing can stop or become very shallow for a few seconds or longer.
- Continuous positive airway pressure is used to treat OSA.
- CPAP sends a flow of pressurized air that splints open the airway.
- the flow of pressurized air can be delivered to the user with an interface.
- the interface can include a mask and headgear, such as an elastic strap.
- the elastic strap When donning the interface, the elastic strap is stretched to allow the headgear to slide over the head of the user. When released, the elastic strap tends to pull the interface against the face of the user.
- the mask attempts to move away from the face of the user because the strap securing the mask against the face is elastic.
- the force exerted by the mask against the face of the user decreases.
- leaks can result in those masks and, if suitably sealed at higher pressures (e.g., 12 cm H 2 O), the elasticity of the strap causes undesirably high pressures to be exerted against the face of the user at lower treatment pressures (e.g., 4 cm H 2 O).
- An object of the present invention is to provide an interface which will at least provide the industry and users with useful choice.
- Some aspects of the present invention relate to headgear for use with an interface where the headgear is generally inelastic.
- headgear is believed by the inventors to be superior to elastic headgear when used with pressures that vary dramatically over a treatment session, for example.
- generally inelastic headgear can be difficult to fit and use.
- there is a need for decoupling the headgear during donning which can be problematic when it comes to adjusting the headgear for proper fit. Decoupling also can be difficult to manage for some users.
- the interface assembly can comprise a mask.
- the mask comprises a frame and a seal supported by the frame.
- Headgear can be connected to the mask and at least one of (i) an adjustment mechanism configured to be set to a use length for a loop defined by the mask and the headgear; and (ii) a break-fit assembly configured to selectively lengthen the loop defined by the mask and the headgear when a predetermined force has been exceeded and return to the use length when the predetermined force has not been exceeded.
- both the adjustment mechanism and the break-fit assembly couples the headgear to the mask. In some such configurations, the adjustment mechanism is positioned on the mask. In some such configurations, the adjustment mechanism is positioned on the headgear.
- the break-fit assembly joins the headgear and the mask. In some such configurations, the break-fit assembly joins the adjustment mechanism and the mask. In some such configurations, the break-fit assembly joins the adjustment mechanism and the headgear. In some such configurations, the break-fit assembly is positioned on the frame of the mask. In some such configurations, the break-fit assembly is positioned on the headgear.
- the break-fit assembly comprises a magnetic coupling.
- the break-fit assembly comprises a mechanical coupling.
- the adjustment mechanism is positioned on the mask. In some such configurations, the adjustment mechanism comprises a squeeze to lock mechanism. In some such configurations, the adjustment mechanism comprises a squeeze to unlock mechanism.
- the break-fit assembly comprises a biasing member.
- the biasing member comprises an elastic sleeve.
- the biasing member comprises a spring.
- the headgear is substantially nonstretch.
- a mask and headgear system comprising a mask and headgear.
- the mask comprises a frame and a seal supported by the frame.
- the headgear can be connected to the mask.
- a break-fit assembly can be configured to elongate upon the application of a force exceeding a preselected force.
- the mask, headgear, and break-fit assembly together define a loop that elongates with forces that exceed the preselected force.
- the break-fit assembly resists elongation and remains connected in general use if a force less than the preselected force is applied.
- the break-fit assembly comprises a mechanical coupling that resists elongation from a first length to a second length until a force is applied that exceeds a predetermined force.
- the mechanical coupling comprising multiple parts and a stretch biasing member that connects two or more of the multiple parts.
- the stretch biasing member exhibits at least one of the following: (1) elastic characteristics and (2) spring characteristics.
- the stretch biasing member provides a connection between the parts of the mechanical coupling of the break-fit assembly.
- the mechanical coupling requires a first force to disconnect and second force to reconnect, the second force being less than the first force.
- the break-fit assembly comprises a magnetic coupling that resists elongation from a first length to a second length until a force is applied that exceeds a predetermined force.
- the magnetic coupling comprising multiple parts and a stretch portion.
- the magnetic coupling fulfills a baising function for the break-fit assembly.
- the stretch portion provides a connection between two or more parts of the magnetic coupling.
- a mask and headgear system comprising a mask configured to be positioned on a user's face and an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the size of the headgear to accommodate different users.
- the headgear comprises a material that is substantially non-elastic. In some such configurations, the headgear is substantially non-stretch. In some such configurations, the adjustment mechanism comprises a buckle. In some such configurations, the buckle comprises a hook and loop fastener. In some such configurations, the adjustment mechanism comprises a reel and coil spring. In some such configurations, the adjustment mechanism includes a winding mechanism, a spool connected to the winding mechanism, and a flexible material band configured to be wound onto the spool.
- FIG. 1 An example of an interface 100 is shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
- the illustrated interface 100 comprises a seal 102 that is supported by a frame 104.
- a conduit 106 connects to at least one of the seal 102 and the frame 104.
- the conduit 106 can supply breathing gases to a user.
- headgear 110 connects to at least one of the seal 102 and the frame 104.
- the headgear 110 comprises a single strap that extends around a head of the user.
- the frame 104 can comprise two mounting points 112 and the strap 110 comprises cooperating mounting members 114.
- the seal 102 can comprise the mounting points 112. Any suitable mounting points 112 and mounting members 114 can be used.
- the cooperating points 112 and members 114 facilitate easy connection and disconnection of the mounting points 112 and mounting members 114.
- at least one of the mounting points 112 and/or the mounting members 114 comprises a suitable mechanism for adjusting a length of the headgear 110.
- the illustrated headgear 110 can be a single strap 110 that passes around the back of the head.
- the strap 110 can bifurcate near the mounting members 114 such that multiple mounting points 112 and multiple mounting members 114 can be used.
- the headgear 110 preferably is substantially completely nonstretch.
- the headgear 110 can be formed of a generally inelastic material or can comprise at least one generally inelastic component that extends generally from one of the mounting members 114 to the other of the mounting members 114.
- the headgear exhibits limited or no substantial creep.
- the headgear 110 can remain substantially the same length over its useful life; the material preferably does not shrink or stretch to a significant degree.
- suede is a material that is generally inelastic and that exhibits limited or no creep.
- a generally inelastic headgear assembly e.g., headgear capable of elastic elongation of less than about 1 percent at a force of about or less than about 5 newtons
- the generally inelastic headgear 110 does not elongate as a treatment pressure increases or varies over the course of treatment. Rather, the headgear simply reacts to oppose any forces generated by the seal during use. As such, when adjusted for a proper fit at high treatment pressures, the user does not experience too tight of a fit when the pressure decreases to a lower treatment pressure. Moreover, with the headgear adjusted and ready for use, the user generally experiences limited or no preload prior to starting a treatment pressure.
- the headgear 110 preferably comprises a manner of adjusting a length of the loop defined by the interface 100 (e.g., the headgear 110 and the frame B104 in Figures 1 and 2 ). Many manners of adjusting the length will be described in more detail below.
- the adjustability facilitates customizing a fit of the inelastic headgear 110 to the particular physical anatomy of the user.
- the headgear 110 preferably comprises a break-fit assembly.
- the break-fit assembly facilitates donning of the interface 100.
- the break-fit assembly can facilitate slight and controlled elongation of the loop defined by the interface 100 to allow the loop to expand sufficiently to slide into position around the head of the user. The extra length enables the user to pull the interface over the maximum circumference of the head while moving the headgear into position below and behind the maxima occipitus, for example.
- the break-fit assembly provides between about 0 and 200 mils of expansion. This may be in one location or split over both sides of the associated interface.
- the break-fit assembly also preferably will return to the original position, or a use length, once the interface 100 has been properly donned. In some configurations, the break-fit assembly will return automatically once the interface 100 has been donned.
- the seal 102102 and the frame B104 generally define a mask in the illustrated configuration.
- breathing gases are supplied through the conduit B106 to a cavity defined within the mask, a lifting force is generated by the mask and the mask attempts to move away from the face of the user.
- the headgear 110 opposes the lifting force.
- the break-fit assembly allows elongation of the loop defined by the interface 100 (e.g., by temporarily increasing a length of the strap).
- the break-fit assembly preferably only elongates after a break-free force has been applied to the assembly.
- the break-free force is greater than a maximum of the lifting force (i.e., a maximum of the lifting force generated at the highest expected treatment force). In some configurations, the break-free force is about 3 Newtons to about 8 Newtons.
- the headgear 110 also can have a manner of adjusting the length of the loop.
- the length adjustment requires an adjustment force that is greater than the break-free force.
- a force greater than that required to operate the break-fit assembly is required.
- the adjustment force is greater than the break-free force and the break-free force is greater than the maximum lifting force.
- the adjustment force also is greater than the maximum lifting force, which can be particularly relevant if a break-fit assembly is not used.
- the interface 120 also comprises a seal 122, a frame 124, a conduit 126 and headgear 130. While the interface 100 of Figures 1 and 2 was a nasal interface, the interface 120 of Figure 3 is a full face interface. Certain features, aspects and advantages of the present invention can be used with any style of interface, including but not limited to nasal, oral, oral-nasal, full face, or the like.
- the illustrated headgear 130 comprises a break-fit assembly 132 and an adjustment mechanism 134.
- the break-fit assembly 132 is shown in connection with only the lower straps but the break-fit assembly 132 also could be used on any and/or all of the straps if desired. While both the break-fit assembly 132 and the adjustment mechanism 134 are shown integrated into the interface, it also is possible to incorporate only one of the break-fit assembly 132 and the adjustment mechanism 134 into the interface. Moreover, any suitable break-fit assembly and/or any suitable adjustment mechanism can be used.
- the headgear 130 preferably comprises a generally inelastic portion 136, the break-fit assembly 132 to facilitate donning of the interface 120, and the adjustment mechanism 124 to allow customization of the headgear 130 to the individual user.
- the headgear 130 comprises Breathoprene with a nonstretch component added to it.
- the material could be a three layer laminate (i.e., foam, UBL (unbroken loop) and a nonstretch layer).
- a nonstretch layer can be a center layer of a five or more layer laminate: nonstretch as a central layer with foam and UBL on each side.
- the interface 130 is shown being donned by a user.
- the break-fit assembly 132 can extend from a first length L1 to a second length L2, which is greater than the first length L1.
- the size of the loop defined by the headgear 130 and the frame 124 can be increased.
- the loop can be sized to a desired size for normal use yet be extensible to a second larger size for donning without upsetting the ability to immediately return to the desired size for normal use.
- Figure 5 illustrates headgear 140 in which a break-fit assembly 142 is shown on another portion of the headgear relative to the configuration shown in Figure 4 .
- the break-fit assembly 142 is positioned on a rear portion of the headgear 140 while, in Figure 4 , the break-fit assembly 132 is positioned between the generally inelastic portion 136 (seen in Figure 3 ) of the headgear 130 and the frame 124.
- the break-fit assembly can be positioned between the generally inelastic portion of the headgear and the frame as in Figure 3 , for example, or the inelastic portion of the headgear can be positioned between the break-fit assembly and the frame.
- the break-fit assembly can be integrated into the headgear (e.g., Figures 3 and 5 ).
- the headgear 140 comprises a generally inelastic portion 144.
- a coupling portion 146 can be positioned along a separable seam 150.
- the seam 150 can be temporarily joined together by the coupling portion 146.
- the seam 150 is defined by two edges (shown in dashed lines) that can be separated but, when in close proximity, the two edges are joined by the coupling portion 146.
- the coupling portion 146 comprises one or more magnets.
- two magnets or one magnet and one magnetizable component e.g., an iron component
- a return component 152 can be integrated into the headgear 140.
- the return component 152 can comprise an elastic material.
- the return component 152 can span a gap that otherwise would exist between two flaps 154 that reside to each side of the seam 150. As such, when the gap is increased by pulling the headgear 140 (see dashed lines) and separating the flaps 154, the return component 152 can stretch to allow donning of the headgear 140.
- the return component 152 can act to restore the headgear 140 to a position in which the flaps 154 can approach each other and the coupling portion 146 can join the flaps 154 along the seam 150.
- the return component 152 comprises an elastic layer.
- the return component 152 can comprise one or more portion formed of Lycra, rubber bands, and elastic knit.
- the elastic layer preferably can stretch up to about 40 mm when subjected to a tensile force of about 5 N (values may differ for a larger mask, such as a full-face mask).
- the return component 152 can comprise strips, cords, bands or the like.
- the coupling portion 146 comprises two components that are positioned at a lower portion of the headgear 140. Such a location is desired because it is less likely to be felt when sleeping in the headgear 140. Other locations are possible. In addition, while only two components are shown, more than two components are possible.
- the full length of the seam 150, a substantial portion of the full length of the seam 150 or a majority of the full length of the seam 150 can be formed of a magnetic material or the like such that the coupling portion 146 also can assist in pulling the seam 150 back together.
- the break-fit assembly can be integrated into the frame and/or the seal.
- an interface 160 has a frame 162 that incorporates a break-fit assembly 164.
- the break-fit assembly 164 shown in Figures 6 through 8 has been integrated into the mask (e.g., the frame of the mask).
- the break-fit assembly 164 can have one or more flaps 166.
- the flaps 166 can seat against an outer surface 170 of the frame 162.
- the flaps 166 can be connected to the frame 162 with hinges 172.
- the illustrated flaps 166 can be connected to the frame 162 with one or more hinges; three hinges 172 are used in the illustrated interface 160.
- biasing members such as springs or the like, can be used to provide a biasing force that will tend to return the flaps 166 to a closed or latched position, which position is described below.
- a magnetic coupling 174 has been used.
- the illustrated magnetic coupling 174 comprises at least one magnet and at least one corresponding component from a magnetic material; the illustrated configuration comprises two magnets and two corresponding components from magnetic materials on each flap 166.
- each paired component comprises at least one magnet and at least one component formed of a magnetic material (e.g., a material that is attracted to a magnet).
- headgear 176 is connected to the flaps 166 in any suitable manner.
- the length of the flaps 166 between the hinges 170 and the point at which the headgear 176 couples to the flaps 166 defines the length by which the loop can be increased (e.g., two times this length can be added).
- lengthening the distance between the hinges and the coupling point can increase the usable length for the break-fit assembly 164 (as seen in Figure 6 ).
- the flaps 166 can comprise two or more leafs that accordion over each other. Thus, multiples of the length between the hinges and the coupling point can be attained.
- the flaps 166 can open independently of each other.
- the flap 166 is opened and connected to the headgear 176.
- the flap 166 is shown in solid lines in the closed or latched position and is shown moving to the opened position.
- the flap 166 swings between the latched position and the open position.
- Both flaps 166 are shown in the closed position on the left in Figure 8 Figure 8 and both flaps 166 are shown in the open position on the right in Figure 8 .
- the movement is shown in dashed lines in Figure 8 .
- an interface 180 has a frame 182 and headgear 184.
- a break-fit assembly 186 can be positioned between the frame 182 and the headgear 184.
- the headgear 184 can comprise a generally inelastic portion 190.
- the generally inelastic portion 190 can extend between two break-fit assemblies. At least one break-fit assembly can connect the generally inelastic portion 190 to the frame 182, directly (see Figure 10 ) or indirectly (see Figure 9 ). In the configuration of Figure 9 , two break-fit assemblies connect the generally inelastic portion 190 to the frame 182.
- the break-fit assembly 186 comprises two magnetic members 192.
- the magnetic members 192 can include at least one magnet or a combination of at least one magnet and at least one magnetizable member (e.g., a ferrous material).
- the magnetic members 192 are oriented to be attracted to each other. As such, when the magnetic members 192 are brought within a range to allow magnetic coupling, the magnetic members 192 self-align and self-connect.
- the magnetic members 192 have a range of movement relative to each other that results in the magnetic members 192 moving outside of the range for magnetic coupling. For example, when the magnetic members 192 move beyond about 10 to about 20 mils apart, the magnetic coupling force is not strong enough to draw the magnetic members 192 back together.
- a flexible sheath 194 can envelop the magnetic members 192. Because the magnetic members 192 are very forgiving with respect to alignment, the flexible sheath 194 is sufficient to guide the magnetic members 192 back together and keep the magnetic members 192 generally on the same path for reconnection.
- the flexible sheath 194 can be any suitable elastic material. In some configurations, the flexible sheath 194 can be formed from silicone, a stretchy plastic material, a stretchy rubber material, or a stretch textile.
- the magnetic members 192 can be fixed at least axially within the flexible sheath 192. In some configurations, the magnetic members 192 are fixed rotationally and/or axially within the flexible sheath 192.
- the magnetic members 192 can be attached to the flexible sheath 194 in any suitable manner. For example but without limitation, the magnetic members 192 can be glued, sewn, overmolded, or the like to secure the magnetic members 192 and the flexible sheath 192 together.
- the magnetic member 194 closest to the frame 182 can be attached directly (see Figure 10 ) or indirectly (see Figure 9 ) to the frame 182.
- the magnetic member furthest from the frame 182 can be attached to an end of the generally inelastic member 190.
- the magnetic member 194 furthest from the frame 182 can be directly connected to the end of the generally inelastic member 190, as illustrated in Figure 9 for example but without limitation.
- a portion of the sheath 194 extends along and/or wraps around at least a portion of the inelastic member 190.
- the sheath 194 extends the full distance or substantially the full distance from one side of the frame 182 to the other side of the frame 182.
- the sheath 194 can be secured to at least a portion of the inelastic member 190.
- the sheath 194 can be bonded to at least a portion of the inelastic member 190.
- Other configurations also are possible.
- a distance from the laterally outermost portion of the sheath 194 to the magnetic member 192 secured to the inelastic member 190 generally will not change. However, a distance from the laterally innermost portion of the sheath 194 to that same magnetic member 192 will vary due to stretching of the sheath 194
- the length of the headgear 180 increases.
- the movement of the magnetic members 192 away from each other is resisted of the elastic material of the sheath 194.
- stretching of the sheath 194 establishes a restoration force that will act to return the magnetic members 192 toward each other for reconnection to a resting position.
- the resting position is a position where the break-fit assembly is connected by a force sufficient to withstand the forces generated by the seal of the interface during normal use of the CPAP plus hose drag.
- Hose drag can be any force applied to the mask system by the CPAP hose being pulled away from the user or being dragged over any surface.
- the force coupling the magnetic members 192 preferably is above a maximum force created by the pressurized breathing gases within the interface, which pressurized breathing gases originate from the CPAP blower force.
- a maximum force created by the pressurized breathing gases within the interface which pressurized breathing gases originate from the CPAP blower force.
- the magnetic members 192 preferably exert a coupling force of greater than about 5 N.
- the magnetic attraction is preferably greater than about 4 to 5 N, which this takes into account a relatively high treatment pressure (e.g., about 20 cm H 2 O) and a difficult to seal patient geometry.
- break-fit assemblies With reference now to Figures 11 through 17 , additional break-fit assemblies are illustrated therein.
- the break-fit assemblies illustrated in Figures 11 through 17 achieve a break-fit function through the use of mechanical couplings rather than magnetic couplings.
- Each of the break-fit assemblies can be connected to inelastic headgear as described above and can be used in place of, or in combination with, any of the other break-fit assemblies described herein.
- the break-fit assemblies facilitate a temporarily enlargement of a loop defined by the interface to ease donning; the mechanical arrangements described herein can provide an extension of between about 25 mils and about 100 mils in some configurations. In some configurations, the extension is between about 30 mils and about 70 mils. In some configurations, the extension is about 50 mils.
- the mechanical break-fit assemblies tend to have a longer axial length than the magnetic break-fit assemblies do. However, the mechanical break-fit assemblies offer other distinct advantages over the use of magnets.
- a break-fit assembly 200 has a construction that allows a separation of a first component and a second component at a predetermined force while facilitating rejoining of the first component and the second component in a mechanical manner.
- the first component can comprise a post 202 with a head 204 and the second component can comprise a receptacle 206 with a resilient opening 210.
- the first component and the second component can be joined by a biasing member 212, such as an elasticated sleeve or spring, for example but without limitation.
- the biasing member 212 can be secured to the first component and the second component in any suitable manner.
- the biasing member 212 overlies any gap that will be created when the first component and the second component separate.
- the biasing member 212 can act to guide the reconnection of the first and second components.
- the head 204 in the illustrated configuration has a gently sloping portion 214 and a more severely angled portion 216.
- the receptacle 206 has a gently sloping portion 220 and a more sharply angled portion 222.
- the surfaces 214, 216, 220, 222 are but one configuration of surfaces that can be used.
- the illustrated configuration using the gently sloping interfaces 214, 220 facilitates a low coupling force while using the more sharply angled interfaces 216, 222 causes a higher separation force.
- the illustrated break-fit assembly 200 will separate at a relatively higher force than the force required by the assembly 200 to recombine. As with the assemblies discussed above, preferably, the assembly 200 will separate at a tensile load of about 4 N or 5 N or more.
- another break-fit assembly 230 has a construction that allows a separation of a first component and a second component at a predetermined force while facilitating rejoining of the first component and the second component in a mechanical manner.
- the first component can comprise a post 232 with a head 234 and the second component can comprise a receptacle 236 with an opening 240.
- the post 232 can extend through a wall that defines the receptacle 236. As such, the post 232 can slide within the receptacle 236. With the post 232 sliding within the receptacle 236, alignment generally results.
- a return force between the first component and the second component can be created by a biasing member 242.
- the biasing member is positioned within the second component.
- the biasing member 242 is positioned within the receptacle 236.
- the biasing member 242 can be a spring, for example but without limitation.
- the illustrated biasing member 242 comprises a compression spring.
- a retainer 244 secures the biasing member 242 over the post 232.
- the retainer can be integrally formed with the post 232 or can be separately formed and secured thereto in any suitable manner. The biasing member 242 therefore bears against a surface of the receptacle 236 and the retainer 244.
- the head 234 in the illustrated configuration has a gently sloping portion 246 and a more severely angled portion 248.
- the receptacle 236 has a gently sloping portion 250 and a more sharply angled portion 252.
- the surfaces 246, 248, 250, 252 are but one configuration of surfaces that can be used.
- the illustrated configuration using the gently sloping interfaces 246, 252 facilitates rejoining at a low coupling force while using the more sharply angled interfaces 248, 250 results in separation occurring at a higher separation force.
- the illustrated break-fit assembly 230 will separate at a relatively higher force than the assembly 230 will recombine.
- the assembly 230 will separate at a tensile load of about 4 N or 5 N or more.
- another break-fit assembly 260 has a construction that also allows a separation of a first component and a second component at a predetermined force while facilitating rejoining of the first component and the second component in a mechanical manner.
- the first component can comprise a post 262 with a head 264 and the second component can comprise a receptacle 266 with an opening 270.
- the post 262 can extend through a wall that defines the receptacle 266. As such, the post 262 can slide within the receptacle 266. With the post 262 sliding within the receptacle 266, alignment generally results.
- a return force between the first component and the second component can be created by a biasing member 272.
- the biasing member overlays at least a portion of each of the first and second components.
- the biasing member 272 can be a spring or a resilient sleeve, for example but without limitation.
- the illustrated biasing member 272 is a resilient fabric sleeve that generally encases the first component and the second component.
- the head 264 in the illustrated configuration has a gently sloping portion 274 and a more severely angled portion 276.
- the receptacle 266 has a gently sloping portion 280 and a more sharply angled portion 282.
- the gently sloping portion 280 of the second component comprises a displaced inner wall of the receptacle 266 and the more sharply angled portion 282 comprises an end of that wall that forms the gently sloping portion 280.
- the surfaces 274, 276, 280, 282 are but one configuration of surfaces that can be used.
- the illustrated configuration using the gently sloping interfaces 274, 280 facilitates a low coupling force while using the more sharply angled interfaces 276, 282 causes a higher separation force. Accordingly, the illustrated break-fit assembly 260 will separate at a relatively higher force than the assembly 260 will recombine. As with the assemblies discussed above, preferably, the assembly 260 will separate at a tensile load of about 4 N or 5 N or more.
- Figures 3 , 7 , 9 through 11, and 18 through 62 will be used to describe various adjustment mechanisms that are arranged and configured in accordance with certain features, aspects and advantages of the present invention.
- the illustrated interface 120 includes an adjustment mechanism 134.
- Figure 7 illustrates a similar adjustment mechanism 168
- Figure 10 also illustrates a similar adjustment mechanism 198. Accordingly, the following description of the adjustment mechanism 134 shown in Figure 3 can apply equally to the adjustment mechanism 168 shown in Figure 7 and/or the adjustment mechanism 198 shown in Figure 10 .
- the adjustment mechanism 134 is a simple buckle 135 with a hook and loop fastening configuration 138 formed on the inelastic portion 136 of the headgear 130.
- a tab of the hook and loop fastening configuration 138 can be passed through an opening defined within the buckle 135 and then secured in position after being doubled back upon itself, for example but without limitation.
- Other buckle configurations also can be used, including pin-based buckles or the like.
- the headgear 130 can be connected to the balance of the interface 120 using hooks 139 or the like.
- the hook 139 can be connected to a mounting structure formed on or connected to at least one of the frame 124 and the seal 122.
- Other assemblies are possible.
- both the upper strap and the lower strap include the adjustment mechanism 134.
- the adjustment mechanism 187 can comprise an insert 188 that includes teeth 189 and that is secured to the break-fit assembly 186.
- the insert 188 can be mated with an opening in the frame 182.
- the insert 188 interlocks with a structure in the frame 182.
- the teeth 189 of the insert 188 interlock with a structure in the frame 182.
- the insert 188 is easy to move inward into the frame 182 but significantly more difficult to retract from the frame 182.
- An adjustment force is used to adjust the headgear.
- the frame 182 may include a release button that, when depressed, facilitates withdrawal of the insert 188 from the frame 182.
- an interface 290 comprises a frame 292 and a seal 294.
- Headgear 296 is connected to the frame 292 in any suitable manner.
- the headgear 296 can comprise a generally inelastic member 300 and an outer cover member 302.
- the outer cover member 302 can comprise an elastic sleeve.
- the elastic sleeve 302 can be attached to the frame 292 in any suitable manner.
- the generally inelastic member 300 can move substantially freely within the sleeve 302.
- the generally inelastic inner member 300 has a first end 304 and a second end 306.
- the first end 304 and the second end 306 can overlap in the region of the frame 292. Movement of the ends 304, 306 changes the size of the loop defined by the headgear 296 and the frame 292 in the illustrated configuration.
- the stretch material of the elastic sleeve 302 proves a force that urges the inner generally inelastic member to a first position (e.g., the position shown in Figure 19 ); the stretch material of the elastic sleeve 302, however, allows the ends 304, 306 to slide relative to each other such that the loop can be expanded.
- the headgear can be expanded and, when released, the elastic sleeve 302 attempts to return the headgear to the starting position.
- the frame 292 can comprise a lock button 310. While a centrally located lock button 310 is shown, two or more lock buttons can be used. In some configurations, a separate lock button can be used for each of the ends 304, 306 and the lock buttons can be disposed laterally of the center point.
- depressing the lock button 310 can release the ends 304, 306 to allow movement of one or both of the ends 304, 306. In some configurations, depressing the lock button 310 can lock the ends 304, 306 relative to each other and relative to the frame 292 such that the size of the loop no longer changes. If the lock button 310 requires depression to lock the ends 304, 306, it is possible to allow the headgear 296 to function like an elastic headgear until the lock button 310 is depressed.
- the lock button 310 operates a release mechanism (e.g., a clothing toggle) that allows movement when depressed and, in some configurations, the lock button 310 operates a clamping mechanism (e.g., friction brake) that reduces or eliminates the likelihood of movement when depressed. Any suitable locking mechanism can be used.
- a release mechanism e.g., a clothing toggle
- a clamping mechanism e.g., friction brake
- the stops 312, 314 can be used to limit the amount of stretch provided by the headgear 296.
- the stops 312, 314 can be constructed such that, while the ends 304, 306 can pass through the frame 292, the stops cannot fully pass through the frame 292.
- the stops 312, 314 are configured to not enter the frame 292 at all. Other configurations also are possible.
- Figures 21 through 23 illustrate another interface 320 having a frame 322, a seal 324 and headgear 326.

- the adjustment mechanism 330 can be positioned within a housing of the frame 322.
- the adjustment mechanism 330 can be positioned around an inlet that is coupled to a supply conduit (not shown). Such a positioning provides an efficient use of space and results in a symmetric configuration.
- the adjustment mechanism 330 is shown in a simplified view.
- the adjustment mechanism 330 can comprise a reel disk 322 and a coil spring 334 (see Figure 23 ). In some configurations, a coil spring can be omitted. In some configurations, rather than the coil spring 334, such as that of Figure 22 , an elastic outer member (not shown) can be used in a manner similar to that used in the configuration of Figures 18 through 20 .
- At least one extensible member 336 can be connected to the reel disk 332.
- Two extensible members 336 are shown in Figure 21 while a single extensible member is shown in Figures 22 and 23 .
- the member 336 preferably folds back over itself in at least one location.
- the extensible member 336 can be a cord, string, tape, or the like, for example but without limitation.
- the extensible member 336 preferably is generally inelastic and is mounted such that it can be unwound from and retracted back onto the reel disk 332.
- the reel disk 332 can be mounted on a spool or axle (not shown) such that the reel disk 332 can rotate about an axis.
- a locking mechanism 338 can be provided to secure the length of extensible member 336 that is extended from the housing.
- the reel disk 322 can be provided with, or connected to a member that includes, locking structure 340, such as recesses, teeth, or the like.
- a locking pin 342 can be biased, such as by a spring 344 for example but without limitation, into the locking structure 340.
- a locking assembly using a friction brake or the like can be used. Desirably, the locking assembly reduces or eliminates the likelihood of further withdrawal of the extensible member. While the extensible member 336 can be retracted into the housing following obtaining a setting in certain configurations, the extensible member 336 preferably cannot be pulled further out from the housing once locked.
- an interface 350 is illustrated that includes a frame 352, a seal 354 and headgear 356.
- An adjustment mechanism 360 can be provided that connects the headgear 356 to the balance of the interface 350.
- the adjustment mechanism 360 comprises a winding mechanism similar to that discussed directly above.
- the adjustment mechanism 360 includes a thin band of material 362, such as a cord, tape or the like, that winds onto and off of a spool 364 such that the band of material 362 can coil about the spool 364.
- the headgear 356 can be generally inelastic and can be joined to the band 362 in any suitable manner.
- the headgear 356 and the band 362 can be connected by a shuttle member 366.
- using the shuttle 366 results in the band 362 being continuously retained within the frame 352.
- the band 362 can be formed of a very thin material yet be protected from wear and abuse.
- the shuttle member is configured to move axially along at least a portion of the frame 352. Movement of the shuttle 366 toward the spool 364 (e.g., to the left in Figure 25 ) acts to remove slack in the headgear 356 (i.e., shorten the loop) while movement of the shuttle 366 away from the spool 364 (e.g., to the right in Figure 25 ) acts to increase slack in the headgear 356 (i.e., lengthen the loop).
- Any suitable locking mechanism can be used to secure the assembly at a desired position. For example, any of the following can be locked in position: the spool 364, the band 362, the shuttle 366 or the headgear 356.
- the spool 364 comprises a locking mechanism such as those described above.
- the shuttle 366 can have detent components that click from one position from the next or the shuttle 366 can move between a clamped position and a freely slidable position (e.g., a clamped position can be created when the shuttle 366 is squeezed into position on a frame component such that it clamps onto the frame component and a freely slidable position can be created when the shuttle is pulled from the frame component and able to slide along the frame component).
- the shuttle member 366 is positioned in a slot 370 formed within the frame 352.
- the slot 370 can be positioned as desired.
- the slot 370 can be on a surface of the frame 352 that faces the user, that faces away from the user, that faces up or that faces down. Adjacent to the slot 370 can be graduated markings to help users identify a desired setting.
- the slot can be omitted (see, e.g., Figure 27 ).
- the frame 352 can simply comprise an opening rather than a slot (see, e.g., Figure 28 ).
- the shuttle member 366 can be captured or connected to the frame 352 in any desired manner.
- the shuttle member 366 can include recesses that receive flanges of the frame 352.
- the frame 352 can include recesses that receive flanges of the shuttle member 366.
- the shuttle member 366 is connected to the frame 352 in such a manner that the shuttle member 366 can translate along at least a portion of the frame 352.
- the mechanism 380 can be positioned in a frame of the interface (e.g., in a recess within the frame) or in a separate housing. In some configurations, the mechanism 380 can be positioned in a housing located along a portion of the headgear, for example but without limitation. As described above, spools have been used to remove slack or adjust a length of the headgear. The takeup mechanisms 380 can be used to adjust the length of the headgear in any of the configurations described herein.
- the illustrated mechanisms 380 comprise a first set of pins 382 and a second set of pins 384. The first set of pins 382 are positioned on a first body 386 and the second set of pins 384 are positioned on a second body 388.
- an extensible member 390 By moving the first body 386 relative to the second body 388, a length of an extensible member 390 can be adjusted.
- a single member 390 is shown and, in Figure 31 , two members 390 are shown with each member secured to one of the bodies (e.g., the first body 386).
- Figure 30 illustrates a linear movement while Figure 31 illustrates a rotational movement.
- a very small relative movement between the first body 386 and the second body 388 can result in a significant change in length of the extensible member 390.
- Increasing the number of pins 382, 384 increases the effect on length. Reducing the number of pins 382, 384 reduces the effect on length.
- the outer body 386 can be rotated while the inner body 388 remains stationary or the outer body 386 can remain stationary while the inner body 388 rotates or both bodies 386, 388 may rotate.
- the relative movements can be created in any suitable manner.
- linear movements can be controlled by a lever, a button or the like, which can be connected to one or both of the bodies 386, 388.
- Rotational movements also can be control by dials, levers, buttons or the like.
- FIG. 32 through 34 another interface 400 is illustrated that includes a frame 402, a seal 404 and headgear 406.
- An adjustment mechanism 410 can be provided.
- the adjustment mechanism 410 comprises a rack and pinion assembly.
- a pinion 412 can be mounted between two racks 414.
- the pinion 412 and the racks 414 can be positioned within the frame 402.
- the ends of the racks 414 can connect to the headgear 406 or can be integrated into the headgear 406.
- the racks 414 connect to the headgear 406 outside of the frame 402.
- the racks 414 connect to the headgear 406 inside of the frame 402.
- the racks 414 can be flexible enough to wrap slightly around the pinion 412 to provide more purchase between the racks 414 and the pinion 412 and bring the racks into alignment for generally symmetrical headgear attachment.
- relief recesses 415 can be provided to increase the flexibility of the racks 414.
- a ring or other input device 416 can be positioned on a surface of the frame 402.
- the ring 416 can be positioned on the front of the frame 402 and can surround a connector through which breathing gases are supplied to the interface 400. Rotation of the input device 416 causes rotation of the pinion 412.
- the pinion 412 comprises teeth 418 and the racks 414 include cooperating teeth 420. As the pinion 412 rotates, the teeth 418, 420 cause axial movement of the racks 414. In this manner, the racks 414 can be used to adjust the loop. Any suitable locking mechanism can be used to lock the position of the headgear 406, the racks 414, the pinion 412 and/or the ring 416. For instance, a pin or the like can be used to inhibit rotation of the pinion 412 and/or the ring 416.
- a friction break, a clamping mechanism, a cammed break member or the like can be used to inhibit movement of one or more of the headgear 406, the racks 414, the pinion 412 and/or the ring 416.
- a break-fit assembly can be used as well.
- the input device can have limits that are adjustable and that limit the range of rotation.
- a coil spring or other biasing member can urge the input device toward the limit associated with the smaller headgear size. As such, the headgear can expand but then automatically retract to the predetermined use size under the influence of the biasing member.
- the adjustment mechanism 420 comprises a resilient sleeve 422 and a post 424.
- the resilient sleeve 422 can be formed from any suitable material.
- the resilient sleeve 422 is formed from silicone, for example but without limitation.
- the resilient sleeve 422 can be formed from a woven material, which material may or may not be resilient.
- the post 424 can be formed from any suitable material.
- the post 424 is formed from a steel roll, for example but without limitation.
- the resilient sleeve 422 includes a passage 426.
- the passage 426 can have an inner diameter or inner dimension that is smaller than an outer diameter or corresponding outer dimension of the post 424.
- the post can be easily inserted into the passage 426. Insertion of the post 424 into the passage 426 causes stretching of the resilient sleeve 422. The stretching of the sleeve 422 causes the material to become tight against the post 424. Any attempt to simply apply tensile forces to the two members causes further tightening of the interface between the sleeve 422 and the post 424. See Figure 36 .
- an end of the sleeve 422 can be manipulated to effectively limit the necking of the sleeve 422 while withdrawing the post 424.
- the end of the sleeve 422 can be moved axially away from the post 424 by causing axial compression of the sleeve.
- the sleeve 422 and the post 424 can form a very effective adjustment mechanism.
- the post 424 can be formed as part of the mask ( Figure 38 ) or as part of the headgear ( Figure 39 ) and the sleeve 422 can be formed as part of the headgear ( Figure 38 ) or as part of the mask ( Figure 39 ).
- the component can be integrated into the frame or the seal.
- the post 424 is formed as part of a frame 430 while, in Figure 39 , the sleeve 422 is formed as part of a seal 432.
- a scale 424 or other demarcations can be provided along a portion of the post 424 to indicate the length of the post 424 that has been fed into the sleeve 422.
- the sleeve 422 can include demarcations as well or as an alternative to the demarcations 434 on the post 424.
- the adjustment mechanisms comprise a sleeve 452 and a post 454.
- the post 454 is received within a passage 456 of the sleeve 452.
- the passage 456 can comprise one or more tabs 458 that resist withdrawal of the post 454 from the passage 456.
- the tabs 458 may slant away from an opening 460 of the sleeve 452 or the tabs 458 may be sufficiently flexible and sufficiently long that, upon insertion of the post 454 into the passage 456, the tabs 458 deflect away from the opening 460.
- the tabs 458 Attempts to withdraw the post 454 from the passage 456 will be resisted by the tabs 458 but the tabs will not prevent the withdrawal of the post 454 upon the application of sufficient force.
- the distance between the tabs will be smaller than the diameter or width of the post 454 such that when the post is inserted the tabs will grip on the post and be forced to bend inwards.
- the length of the tabs and their material may cause them to grip on the post and deform, thus increasing the interference with the post and requiring a greater force to remove the post from the sleeve.
- the adjustment mechanism 450 can be formed between the headgear and the mask.
- the post 454 can be connected to, or integrally formed with, a portion of the mask while the sleeve 452 is formed with or connected to the headgear (see Figure 40 ).
- the sleeve 452 can be integrated into, or joined to, a hook 462.
- the sleeve 452 and the hook 462 can be used to connect a mask and headgear together while also providing adjustability. See Figure 41 .
- the interface 470 comprises a frame 472, a seal 474 and headgear 476.
- An adjustment mechanism 480 can connect the headgear 476 to the balance of the interface 470.
- the frame 472 can include a housing 482 that contains the adjustment mechanism 480, which is shown in Figures 42 and 43 .
- the adjustment mechanism connects to the headgear 476.
- Figure 43 illustrates that the adjustment mechanism 480 can include a plurality of telescoping members 484.
- the telescoping members 484 are designed to nest one inside of another. As such, when collapsed, the telescoping members 484 define a first length and, when extended, the telescoping members 484 define a second length that is longer than the first length. This relationship is best shown by comparing the left side of Figure 42 and the right side of Figure 42 .
- connecting cables 486 can be used.
- a first connecting cable 486 can join an upper portion of a first member 484 to a lower portion of a third member 484 by looping over an upper portion of a second member 484 (see cables on upper portion of Figure 42 ).
- a second connecting cable 486 can join a lower portion of the third member 484 to an upper portion of the first member 484 by looping under a lower portion of the second member 484 (see cables on lower portion of Figure 42 ).
- the outermost member 484 can define an end magnet or magnetizable material that can be connected to, or can define, an end cap 490 of the adjustment mechanism 480.
- Located at the upper portion of the third member 484 can be another magnet or magnetic material that defines a base 491, which in one position is adjacent the end cap 490.
- the end cap 490 and the base 491 may both comprise magnets, respectively, or one may comprise a magnet while the other comprises a magnetizable material.
- the end cap 490 and the base 491 are held together with a magnetic force.
- the distance or length between the lower portion of the base 491 to the upper portion of the end cap 490 is defined as L3. If a force exceeding the magnetic force is applied in an opposing direction the one or more magnets will be forced apart to define a distance or length of L4 where L4 is greater than L3.
- the end cap 490 and the base 491 together provide the same or a similar break-fit function as those described in Figures 9 and 10 .
- the end cap 490 pulls away from the base 491 thereby loosening the tension on the headgear 476, which may be beneficial for ease of removal or adjustment.
- the two elements may tend to be drawn back together when the force keeping them apart is removed or reduced.
- Other elements of the headgear 476 may also draw the two elements back together.
- a resilient member 492 (as described in greater detail below) may comprise an elastic material that will draw the end cap 490 and the base 491 back toward each other if separated.
- the end cap 490 is secured to the upper portion of a telescoping member 484.
- end cap 490 is shown as affixed to the upper portion of the fourth telescoping member 484.
- the base 491 positioned at the upper end of the third telescoping member 484 may be configured to accommodate such movement.
- the base 491 comprises an annular shape that allows the fourth telescoping member 484 to slide into and out of both the base 491 as well as the third telescoping member 484. Such movement comes into play in the break-fit operation of the end cap 490 and base 491.
- the base 491 comprises any number of shapes having an interior opening to accommodate the fourth telescoping member 484. In some embodiments, the base 491 is positioned to one or more sides of the slot 496 of the third telescoping member 484. Thus, the movement of the fourth telescoping member 484 is not impeded and the end cap 490 can still be held in place with a magnetic force.
- the members 484, the connecting cables 486, the end magnet and the end cap 490 can be enclosed with a resilient member 492.
- Any suitable resilient member 492 can be used.
- the resilient member 492 is a strip of material.
- the resilient member 492 forms an envelope around the members 484 and the end cap 490. As best shown in Figure 42 , the illustrated resilient member 492 resists movement of the end cap 490 away from the centerline CL. More importantly, the resilient member applies a restorative force when the members 484 extend outward.
- the entire assembly can be locked into a position by locking only one of the members 484.
- the connecting cables 486 operate in a balanced manner and so stopping the movement of one member 484 relative to another member 484 causes all of the members 484 to stop. More particularly, by controlling the movement at lock point 494, the entire adjustment mechanism can be controlled. For example, clamping together the centermost member 484 and the adjacent member 484 will reduce or eliminate the likelihood of movement of the other members 484.
- the members 484 can include slots 496. Pins 498 can extend between adjacent members 484 in a slot such that the members are coupled together. To provide the lock point 494, one of the pins 498 can extend through a slot 500 formed in the housing 482, as shown in Figure 44 .
- Other locking configurations also can be used. For example, multiple stops can be provided with a pin fitting into one of the holes that define the multiple stops. Desirably, the locking configuration will lock out movement between at least one of the members 484 and the housing 482 or will lock out movement between at least two adjacent members 484.
- an interface 510 is illustrated that has a frame 512, a seal 514, headgear 516 and an adjustment mechanism 520.
- the adjustment mechanism 520 can comprise a scissor mechanism, as will be described.
- the adjustment mechanism 520 can be connected to the frame 512.
- the adjustment mechanism 520 can be positioned within a housing 522.
- the housing 522 can be connected to the frame 512.
- the housing 522 forms a portion of the frame 512.
- the headgear 516 is connected to the frame 512 with the adjustment mechanism 520 contained within the housing 522.
- the adjustment mechanism 520 preferably comprises a first base component 530 and a second base component 532.
- the first and second components 530, 532 can comprise rings in some configurations.
- the first ring 530 and the second ring 532 can be positioned side by side with a single rotational axis extending through the two rings 530, 532.
- the first ring 530 includes two lugs 534 that are approximately 180 degrees apart.
- the second ring 532 includes two lugs 536 that also are approximately 180 degrees apart.
- a pair of crossing scissor arms 540 connect to the lugs 534, 536 on each side of the rings 530, 532.
- the scissor arms 540 can be connected at a pin joint 542.
- the connections between the scissor arms 540 and the lugs 534, 536 can be pin joints. While one set of scissor arms 540 are shown for each side of the adjustment mechanism 520, other numbers can be used.
- An end piece 544 can be connected to the scissor arms 540 with stub arms 546.
- a first end of the stub arms can be connected to the scissor arms 540 with pin joints.
- a second end of the stub arms can be connected to the end piece 544 with pin joints.
- the adjustment mechanism 520 includes a biasing member 548.
- the biasing member 548 urges the end piece 544 toward the center axis CA.
- the biasing member 548 can be one or more strips of an elastomeric material or a spring member.
- the biasing member 548 can be an enveloping stretchable fabric or other material. Any suitable biasing member can be used.
- the biasing member 548 also is the housing 522. The biasing member provides a restorative force that seeks to return the end pieces 544 to the contracted position.
- a locking component 550 can be used to secure the adjustment mechanism 520 in a desired position.
- the rings 530, 532 can comprise one or more recesses 552 that extend around the periphery of the rings 530, 532.
- the recesses can be in the form of teeth, for example but without limitation.
- a pin 554 can engage with the recesses 552 to reduce or eliminate the likelihood of rotation of the rings 530, 532 when movement is not desired. In some configurations, only one of the first and second rings 530, 532 is secured against movement.
- Figure 49 illustrates a cam assembly 560.
- the cam assembly 560 can use a cam mounted to a lever.
- the first and second rings 530, 532 can be squeezed together by the cam.
- Another mechanism, illustrated in Figure 50 can include a threaded ring assembly 562, which features a locking ring that tightens against at least one of the first and second rings 530, 532. The locking ring, when tightened, can secure at least one or both of the first and second rings 530, 532 from rotation.
- the adjustment mechanisms described herein can be used with break-fit assemblies where desired.
- a break-fit assembly 570 the end piece 544 and a plate 572 can be releasably coupled together.
- the end piece 544 and the plate 572 can be magnetically coupled.
- at least one of the end piece 544 and the plate 572 is or includes a magnet. The magnetic coupling between the end piece 544 and the plate 572 is sufficiently strong to allow the connection to remain during treatment yet sufficiently weak to allow separation between the end piece 544 and the plate 572 when donning the interface 510.
- the elastic member 548 continues to stretch even beyond the full range of adjustment by the adjustment mechanism 520 (e.g., about an additional 50 mils). Thus, if the adjustment mechanism 520 is locked at a position between collapsed and extended, the elastic member 548 will continue to stretch when the plate 572 breaks free from the end piece 544 during donning of the interface 510.
- an adjustment mechanism 580 can have independent movement of the two sides.
- the adjustment mechanism 580 shown in Figures 51-53 can allow adjustment of two sides independently of each other.
- the adjustment mechanism 580 can include at least a first gear 582 and a second gear 584. The first gear 582 and the second gear 584 can be engaged such that rotation of one of the gears 582, 584 results in rotation of the other one of the gears 582, 584.
- a first lever arm 586 can extend away from the first gear 582 and a second lever arm 588 can extend away from the second gear 584.
- the first lever arm 586 and the first gear 582 are coupled for rotation and the second lever arm 588 and the second gear 584 are coupled for rotation.
- a pair of crossing scissor arms 590 connect to the lever arms 586, 588.
- the scissor arms 590 can be connected at a pin joint 592.
- the connections between the scissor arms 590 and the lever arms 582, 584 can be pin joints. While one set of scissor arms 590 are shown for each side of the adjustment mechanism 580, other numbers can be used.
- An end piece 594 can be connected to the scissor arms 590 with stub arms 596.
- a first end of the stub arms 596 can be connected to the scissor arms 590 with pin joints.
- a second end of the stub arms 596 can be connected to the end piece 594 with pin joints.
- the end piece 594 When the end piece 594 is moved relative to the gears 582, 584, the stub arms 596 and the scissor arms 590 fold and unfold while the gears 582, 584 rotate. As shown in Figure 51 , the end piece 594 can move between a contracted position (solid lines) and an extended position (dashed lines).
- the adjustment mechanism 580 can comprise an elastic cover 598, similar to the configurations described above.
- the cover 598 encloses the mechanical assembly and applies a force that urges the mechanism back to the contract position. Any of the biasing structures described herein can be used.
- the break-fit assembly described above can be integrated in the same manner. Effectively, relative to the other scissor arms assembly described above, the assembly of Figures 51-53 exchanges the two rings for four gears and isolates the movement of the two sides.
- hook and loop fasteners with buckles or the like to provide an adjustment mechanism.
- Figures 54-58 a few assemblies that can be used in place of hook and loop fasteners are illustrated. These assemblies feature components that can be formed of silicone or another polymeric material. Accordingly, these features facilitate molding with either headgear or another component of the interface.
- a strap 610 is shown doubled back on itself.
- a slider 612 can be used to slide over at least a portion of the strap 612.
- the strap 610 can include one or more rails 614.
- the rails 614 as shown in Figure 55 , can include a narrow rib 616 with an enlarged cap 618. When pressed together on itself, each rail 614 can deflect. As illustrated, the enlarged cap 618 can interlock with itself to join the strap.
- the slider 612 as it slides over the doubled over portion of the strap 610, helps to cause the rails 614 to interlock.
- the straps 610 allow a significant length that can be used and, because of the construction and the interlocking of the rails 614, the straps 610 will not be prone to having a free end dangling. In other words, the excess length is easily managed.
- the strap 620 comprises two rails 622.
- Each of the rails 622 can comprise a C-shaped cap 624 that sits atop a narrower rib 626.
- one of the two caps 624 will compress to fit inside of the other of the two caps 624.
- the strap 620 doubled over portion can lock to itself in the longitudinal direction.
- Figure 57 also illustrates a second strap 630.
- the strap 630 comprises four rails 632. Two of the rails 632 each comprise a C-shaped cap 634 that sits atop a narrower rib 636. Two of the rails 632 each comprise a small head 638 that sits atop a narrower rib 640. When pressed together, the small head 638 can snap into the recess of the C-shaped cap 634. Thus, when the strap 630 is doubled over itself and pressed together, the strap 630 can lock to itself in the longitudinal direction.
- Figure 58 shows another strap 650.
- the strap 650 can lock to itself in a transverse direction.
- the strap 650 can comprise an end 652 with a stop 654.
- the end 652 can include a tab 656, which can be sized to accommodate a slider member 658.
- the slider member 658 can track along the axial direction of the strap 650.
- One side of the illustrated strap 650 includes transversely extending ribs 660.
- the ribs 660 are shaped to enable the ribs 660 to lock together when pressed.
- the other side of the illustrated strap 650 is substantially smooth.
- the slider member 658 has an opening large enough to accommodate two thicknesses of the strap 650 so long as the two thicknesses have the ribs 660 interlocked. Accordingly, the tab portion 656 is generally smooth on both sides such that, when the slider member 658 is positioned over the tab portion 656, the location of the tab portion 656 can be adjusted (see lower portion of Figure 58 ). Once positioned as desired, the slider member 658 can be slid away from the stop 654. As the slider member 658 traverses the strap 650, the ribs 660 are pressed together and the strap locks to itself in a transverse direction.
- the interface 700 includes a mask frame 702, a seal 704 and headgear 706.
- An adjustment mechanism 710 connects the headgear 706 to the balance of the interface 700.
- the frame 704 comprises arms 712 that extend laterally outward.
- the arms 712 can include recessed grooves 714 that extend along one or both of the top and bottom.
- the headgear 706 connects to a slide 720.
- the headgear 706 is pivotally connected to the slide 720.
- Other types of connections also can be used.
- the slide 720 can include a tooth 722 that fits into each of the recessed grooves 714 of the arms 712.
- the slide 720 should define a larger inside dimension than a corresponding outside dimension of the arm 712 such that the slide 720 can be compressed toward the arm 712.
- the slide 720 generally is locked in position along the arm 712 until compressed.
- compressing the slide 720 in the direction of the teeth releases the slide 720 and enables the slide 720 to translate along the arm 712.
- Figure 62 demonstrates that the slide 720 can include a tooth or friction generator 722 that is contacts the arm 712 until the slide 720 is compressed.
- a wall 724 of the slide 720 deflects away from the arm 712, which raises the tooth or friction generator 722 away from the arm 712 to facilitate movement of the slide 720 along the arm 712.
- the arm 712 can include markings or indicia to assist with determining the location of the slide 720 along the length of the arm 712.
- a non-stretching headgear generally indicates that the headgear should be set to a specific, customized size for each user.
- the sizing is performed once and then is not changed during subsequent use.
- the sizing can be temporarily adjusted for ease of donning the interface while facilitating automatic reconnection of the headgear to the predetermined size.
- the break-fit assembly can be positioned on the mask (e.g., on the frame or on the seal), in-line by connecting to one or more of the straps of the headgear, or in another portion of the headgear (e.g., along a seam in the back of the headgear).
- a component assembly can be provided to reduce the likelihood of accidental adjustment of a predetermined sizing of the headgear.
- the component assembly can be created to operate an adjustment mechanism only with deliberate interaction.
- a key can be used to lock or unlock the adjustment mechanism.
- the key could be a traditional key or could be another item.
- the key could be a magnet or a magnetic component that attracts another component to interact with an adjustment mechanism.
- the key could be a household item, such as a screwdriver, pin, or the like.
- a component can be removed to lock the adjustment mechanism against inadvertent or undesirable resizing.
- electronics can be added to improve the function of the interface.
- a strap or other component can have an incorporated track that acts as an electronic tape measure.
- the electronics can signal when the headgear is at the proper or predetermined size.
- the user can stretch the interface during donning and then tighten until the electronics indicate that the predetermined length has been reached.
- an actuator could be provided to automatically tighten the interface to the predetermined size.
- the actuator could be a small motor, solenoid or the like.
- the actuator could be integrated into the frame or the headgear, for example but without limitation.
- operating characteristics of a CPAP device could be monitored such that an adjustment could be made to the headgear automatically to compensate for leaks as soon as the leaks occur or are likely to occur.
- any of the adjustment mechanisms can be combined with any of the break-fit assemblies.
- the adjustment mechanisms can be used without a break-fit assembly and the break-fit assemblies can be used without an adjustment mechanism.
- any interface i.e., mask and headgear
